I oppose this bill as a parent of a child who attends public schools and a teacher in a public school. By eliminating the default budget as a backup in the case that a proposed budget fails at an annual school district meeting would be disastrous. Under this proposal, if the proposed budget fails, it would require a special meeting that could ultimately result in a 10% reduction to a school or town budget. Our public schools need all the state support we can get for funding.
